PREFACE. 

THE  present  manual  has  been  compiled  with  a  view 
to  supplying  a  deficiency  that  has  hitherto  existed  in 
English  commercial  literature. 

Bearing  in  mind  that  the  phraseology  of  Russian 
Commercial  Correspondence  is  bound  to  present  greater 
difficulties  to  the  English  student  than  that  of  any 
other  European  language — the  study  of  Russian  in  this 
country  having  only  recently  been  taken  up  seriously — 
I  have  made  every  endeavour  to  treat  this  side  of  the 
subject  of  the  manual  as  thoroughly  as  possible. 

Besides  the  section  on  Phraseology  (Section  I.),  where 
a  variety  of  examples  of  general  phraseology  of  Russian 
Commercial  Correspondence  is  given  with  a  parallel 
English  translation,  in  the  section  treating  on  the 
Construction  of  a  Russian  business  letter  (Section  IV.) 
the  most  up-to-date  Russian  commercial  expressions 
in  current  use  have  been  so  classified  and  arranged  as 
to  enable  the  student  to  acquire  a  thorough  profi- 
ciency in  the  use  of  the  phraseology  of  any  given  sec- 
tion of  Russian  Commercial  Correspondence.  This 
section  is  also  provided  with  a  parallel  English  trans- 
lation. In  the  Russian  letters  themselves,  twenty- 
five  of  which  have  been  provided  with  a  full  English 
translation  (Section  II.),  much  attention  has  been 
given  to  Commercial  Terms,  and  more  than  one  alter- 
nate expression  has  frequently  been  supplied  in  square

brackets.  Those  letters  that  have  not  been  provided 
with  an  English  translation  are  furnished  throughout 
with  English  foot-notes  (Section  III.),  and  a  precis  in 
English  of  all  the  letters  has  been  appended,  which 
should  enable  the  student  to  tackle  every  letter  more 
intelligently,  and  which  should  also  provide  material 
for  the  independent  compilation  of  Russian  business 
letters  by  the  student. 

An  extensive  Index  of  Commercial  Terms  and  Phrases, 
both  Russian  and  English,  has  been  appended,  which 
should  also  serve  as  Vocabulary,  since  the  respective 
Russian  or  English  meaning  of  every  word  or  phrase 
referred  to  in  the  text  is  given  either  in  the  parallel 
translation  or  in  the  foot-notes. 

The  restricted  scope  of  the  present  manual  has  com- 
pelled me  to  confine  myself  to  the  treatment  of  a  com- 
paratively limited  number  of  Russian  business  letters, 
and,  besides  a  few  circular  and  sundry  letters,  my  chief 
aim  has  been  the  thorough  treatment  of  four  staple 
groups  of  business  letters,  namely : 

I.  Correspondence    concerning    the    offering,    pur- 
chasing, and  supplying  of  goods. 

II.  Correspondence  about  payments  made  and  pay- 
ments received. 

III.  Correspondence  relating  to  Bills  of  Exchange, 
Promissory  Notes,  etc. 

IV.  Correspondence  relating  to  shipping,  forwarding, 
and  clearing. 

The  number  and  nature  of  letters  falling  under  these 
four  groups  are  more  fully  set  out  in  the  Analytical 
Summary  of  letters. 

A  proper  sequence  has  been  maintained  throughout, 
and  with  the  exception  of  the  last  three  letters  (101-103), 
relating  to  statements  of  account,  there  are  no  stray  or 


PREFACE  Vll 

casual  letters  in  this  manual.  The  sequence  in  which 
the  letters  run  is  given  at  the  end  of  the  Analytical 
Summary, 

Simple  transactions — mainly  relating  to  the  export 
and  import  of  merchandise  likely  to  come  within  the 
range  of  Anglo-Russian  trade — have  been  selected 
and,  as  far  as  possible,  the  entire  correspondence  re- 
lating to  each  transaction  has  been  treated. 

In  compiling  Section  IV.  of  this  manual  I  have 
consulted  the  excellent  Manual  of  Russian  Commercial 
Correspondence  of  N.  A .  Blatov,  and  have  modelled  this 
section  after  his  plan. 

I  take  this  opportunity  of  tendering  my  thanks  to 
Mr.  Basil  T.  Timotheieff,  B.D.,  M.I.A.I.  (Petrograd), 
Professor  of  Russian  in  the  Institut  Frangais  du 
Royaume  Uni  (Universite  de  Lille),  London,  for  his 
many  valuable  suggestions  and  also  for  looking  through 
my  MS  before  going  to  press.

INTRODUCTORY    REMARKS. 

ARRANGEMENT  OF  A  RUSSIAN  BUSINESS  LETTER. 

Arrangement. — The  arrangement  of  a  Russian  business 
letter  is  practically  the  same  as  that  of  an  English 
business  letter  as  regards  spacing,  paragraphing, 
address,  subscription,  and  signature,  except  that 
the  name  and  Address  of  the  person  for  whom 
the  letter  is  intended — Seame,  HMH  H  OaMiiJiin, 
HJIH  HaHMeHOBanie  ajjpecaTa — always  appear 
near  the  top  of  the  note-paper,  after  the  date,  and 
are  much  nearer  to  the  right-hand  side  of  the  paper 
than  the  rest  of  the  lines.  Mr.  A.  N.  Pavlov,  Riga; 
Mrs.  A.  N.  Pavlov,  Riga;  Messrs.  Pavlov  and 
Ivanov,  are  rendered  (in  dative):  Focno,a,HHy 
(or  F-ny)  Anflpeio  HnKOJiaeBimy  (or  A.  H.) 
HaBJiOBy,  Prira  (BT>  Park);  FOCIIOWB  (or  F-HCB) 
HafleHWE  AjieKcaHflpOBHlj  (or  H.  A.)  IMBJIOBOH, 
Piira;  FocnoAaivrfc  (or  F-MT>)  FlaBJiOBt  H  IlBaHOBt, 
BtPurs;  FocnoAaivn>  Bpaibfl  COMOBH  BI,  MOCKB-B. 

Patronymics  are  used  in  writing  to  persons  with  whom 
the  writer  stands  in  more  or  less  familiar  relations ; 
in  ordinary  business  correspondence  the  Christian 
name  and  patronymic  are  usually  rendered  by 
initials — FocnoAHHy  A.  II.  GeAOposy,  Sfffecb. 
Banks  and  corporate  firms  are  addressed: 
KoMMepnecKOMy  Baimy ;  Bi>  Toproebrii 


INTRODUCTORY    REMARKS 

,,EpaTLH  AHTOHOBH";  Bt  IleTporpaacKyio 
KoHTOpy  FocyAapcxBeHHaro  Bamta. 
Date.  —  The  date  —  HHCJIO,  ,H,aTa  —  stands  immediately 
after  the  name  of  the  place,  which  is  very  rarely 
supplemented  by  the  number  of  the  house  and 
the  name  of  street,  etc.,  as  in  an  English  letter, 
these  forming  part  of  the  heading  (name  of  the 
firm)  —  BjiaHKt  OripMti. 

Old  and  New  Style.  —  If  the  letter  is  intended  for  a 
correspondent  abroad,  both  the  Old  and  New 
Styles  are  given,  as:  neTporpaflT>,  5/18  Man  1915; 

MocKBa,  7/20  ABrycxa  1915  ;  MocKBa,  ?j^~  1915  ;

23     eKa6H  1915 


5  flHBapn  1916' 
In  dating  letters  sent  to   Russia  from  places 
where  the  New  Style  is  in  use,  the  New  Style  is 


placed  first:  1915; 

28  AsrycTa  27  ,2,eKa6pH  1915 

^  Man  1915. 

It  is  the  custom  to  write  the  names  of  months 
in  business  letters  with  a  capital  letter,  although 
otherwise  the  small  letter  is  the  more  correct 
according  to  the  new  orthography. 
Salutation.  —  The  salutation—  06pameme  —  should  com- 
mence a  little  nearer  the  right-hand  side  of  the 
paper  than  the  beginning  of  a  new  paragraph. 
The  English  salutations,  "  Dear  Sir,"  "  Dear 
Sirs,"  "  Gentlemen,"  "  Dear  Madam,"  are  rendered 
by:  MiijiocTHBuft  FocyAapb,  MnjiocTHBue  Focy- 
flapn,  MrijiocTHBafl  rocy#apLiHfl,  and  are  followed 
by  commas.  These  are  very  rarely  rendered  by 
initials  only  (M.  P.),  except  in  circulars. 


INTRODUCTORY   REMARKS  XI 

Subject  Matter. — The  subject-matter  of  a  Russian  letter 
— CoflepJKanie  iracbMa — is  treated  in  the  same  way 
as  that  of  an  English  business  letter.  It  is  usually 
subdivided  into: 

(a)  BcTyruiemQ  Introduction  [opening]; 

(b)  H3Jio?KeHie=Statement; 

( c)  3  aKjnoqeme = Conclusion ; 

each  section  forming  a  paragraph.     Very  often 
the  letter  commences  with  the  statement. 

Opening. — Of  the  openings  most  in  use  are:  BT>  Grain, 
Ha  B/  HOHT.  nHCLMO  .  .  .  ,  MH  nojryHHjra  B/  IKRT. 
nHCbMO  .  .  .  ,  Bi>  flonojiHenie  KT>  H/  riHCbMy 
on>  .  .  .  (See  also  specimens  of  phrases.) 

Statement. — The  statement  portion  should  give  a  clear 
and  precise  idea  about  the  subject  under  treatment 
and  the  most  important  details;  totals  of  Invoices, 
particulars  of  Bills  of  Exchange,  sums  to  be 
placed  to  account,  etc.,  should  be  underlined  or 
placed  in  a  separate  line. 

If  the  statement  portion  forms  a  reply  to  some 
communication,  the  answers  should  be  put  in  the 
same  sequence  as  the  questions  in  the  letter  to 
which  a  reply  is  sent. 

Conclusion. — The  concluding  portion  usually  stands  in 
close  relation  to  the  statement  portion;  often 
mention  is  made  in  it  about  Enclosures,  which 
are,  however,  as  a  rule  noted  at  the  bottom  of  the 
letter  in  the  left-hand  corner.  This  portion  is 
wound  up  with  the  stereotyped  phrase,  npe6biBaK> 
[npeSbiBaeM'b]  ci>  coBepineHHUMT,  noHTenieivrt,  or 
simply,  Ci  coBepraenHUMT.  noqremeMT>  (with 
capital  when  it  stands  after  full-stop).  Other 


Xll  INTRODUCTORY   REMARKS 


windings-up  are:  GL  HCTHHHHMT>  noHTemeivrb,  CT> 
HCKpeHHHMt  yBaTKemeMi),  which  are  used  less 
frequently. 

The  conclusions  mostly  used  are:  Bt  ojKHA&mH 
B/  flajibffEHiuHX'b  nopyiemH  [aaKaaoBt]  npe6bi- 
Bae&rb  [HUTBeurb  necTb  npeSbiBaib]  CT>  coBepmeH- 
HbiMT>  noHT^Hieivn>  [CT>  MCTHUHHRTI.  noMTenieivrb]  ; 
BjiarojjapH  Baci>  aa  OKaaaHHoe  HaMi>  j^OB-Bpie 
npeSbiBaeMi.  ...  ;  Bi>  oH^MAaHiu  cnoparo  [6jiaro- 
npiflTnaro]  OTB-Bxa  npe6biBaio.  .  .  .  (See  also 
specimens  of  phrases,  and  letters.) 

Registered.  —  Registered  letters  —  3aKa3HHH  micbMa 
[3aKa3Hoe  nwcbMoJ  —  usually  have  a  stamp  — 
,,3aKa3Hoe"  —  affixed  either  near  the  top  or  at 
the  bottom  near  the  left-hand  corner,  and  also 
on  the  envelope. 

Abbreviations  (CoKpamemfl).  —  The  possessive  pro- 
nouns, naiirb,  Baiirb,  MOH,  are  very  often  written 
H/,  B/,  M/.  This  abbreviation  does  not  apply  to 
possessive  pronouns  standing  after  the  noun  that 
they  qualify.  It  would  be,  therefore,  quite  incor- 
rect to  write,  for  instance,  OTT>  npeflCTasMTejifl  B/, 
On,  npeacTaBHTejiH  Bauiero  being  the  more 
correct  form;  neither  are  personal  pronouns 
abbreviated.  MW,  Bu,  Bac^,  BaMH,  HaMH,  etc., 
are  always  written  in  full. 

Other  abbreviations  are:  C/M,  n/M,  c/r,  n/r 
[C.M.,  n.M.,  c.r.,  n.r.j,  which  stand  for  ,,cero 
*rtcHita,"  ,,np6mjiaro  »rlcflii;a,"  ,,cero  ro«a," 
,,np6uijiaro  rofla."  (See  also  list  of 
abbreviations.) 

P.T.O.  —  If  more  than  one  page  is  needed  for  the 
letter  it  is  usually  continued  overleaf,  the  English 


INTRODUCTORY   REMARKS 


Xlll 


"  P.T.O.  "  is  then  rendered  by  Ha  06.  [Ha  o6oporrfe] 
or  by  the  sign  '/. 

Signature  (Ilodnucb). — If  the  letter  is  signed  by 
persons  other  than  the  owner,  or  partners  who 
are  authorized  by  a  Power  of  Attorney — 
HOCTL — to  do  so,  the  words  ,,no 
,,no  SOB."  are  placed  before  their  signature;  the 
name  of  the  firm  in  such  cases  being  affixed  by 
means  of  a  rubber  stamp: 

ToproBHtt  .HoMt  ,,BpaTLH  AHTOHOBLI," 

no  flOB.  A.  nexpoBt. 
FpHropitt  3y6oBi»  n  Ko., 

no  HOB.  H.  Orji66jiHin>.

on  our  behalf  formal  receipts,  which  will  be  binding 
upon  us.  We  beg  to  submit  for  your  information  his

RUSSIAN   COMMERCIAL   CORRESPONDENCE  47 

From  the  enclosed  Price  List  you  will  see  that  our 
prices,  compared  with  those  of  other  firms,  are  very 
moderate,  the  quality  of  our  goods  at  the  same  time 
being  of  a  very  high  standard.  This  is  due  to  the  fact 
[explained  by  the  circumstance]  that  we  have  branches 
in  London  and  Marseilles,  specially  for  the  purpose  of 
buying  these  goods  first-hand,  at  the  local  Exchanges, 
during  the  season,  and  in  large  quantities,  which  are 
stored  in  our  store-houses  there. 

This  circumstance  and  the  considerable  capital  at  our 
disposal  enable  us  to  buy  when  it  is  most  advantageous 
to  us. 

The  prices  in  our  Price  List  are  strictly  net,  franco 
Riga  Goods  Station,  from  which,  however,  a  discount 
of  5%  is  allowed  for  cash;  or  three  months'  Bills  are 
taken  in  payment.  No  charge  is  made  for  cost  of 
cases  or  packing. 

We  have  had  the  pleasure  of  forwarding  you  in  a 
small  case  samples  of  some  of  our  goods  that  we  have 
in  stock  [in  store]  here,  and  we  are  prepared  to  accept 
your  trial-order  for  some  of  them,  by  giving  you  a 
special  discount  of  10%  from  the  prices  shown  in  our 
Price  List. 

We  trust  that  you  will  find  it  to  your  advantage  to 
send  us  a  trial-order,  which  will  be  executed  in  the  most 
careful  manner,  and,  in  the  anticipation  [expectation] 

of  the  same, 

We  remain, 

Yours  faithfully, 

NAZIMOV  AND  OUDIN.

INQUIRY. 

CONFIDENTIAL. 

Commercial  Bank  of  Riga.

Riga,        r  June,  1915. 


Messrs.  Thomson  and  Nicholson,  Birmingham. 

DEAR  SIRS, 

In  reply  to  your  inquiry  of  the  8th  inst.,  we  beg 
to  inform  you  that  the  partners  of  the  Firm  of  M.  and  K. 
under  inquiry,  have,  before  entering  into  partnership, 
for  many  years  traded  for  their  own  respective  accounts, 
and  were  engaged  chiefly  in  the  exportation  of  Timber, 
Hemp  and  Flax. 

Both  Mr.  M.  and  Mr.  K.  are  well  known  in  the  city, 
and  enjoy  the  reputation  of  honest  and  sound  business 
men.  Their  trustworthiness  can  hardly  be  questioned 
[can  hardly  be  subject  to  doubt]  since,  besides  Real 
Estate  (which  to  our  knowledge  has  not  been  mort- 
gaged anywhere),  they  apparently  also  possess  consider- 
able Capital. 

By  the  way,  they  have  recently  opened  with  us  a 
Current  Account  with  an  initial  deposit  of  Roubles 
100,000,  and  besides  that,  they  have  a  similar  account 
with  the  local  branch  [office]  of  the  State  Bank  for  like 
amount. 

We  are  of  opinion  that  a  credit  of  Roubles  300,000 
is  quite  admissible  as  far  as  this  Firm  is  concerned. 

Needless  to  say  that  we  give  the  above  information

8.  OFFER  OF  AN  AGENCY. 

Thomson  and  Nicholson, 
Birmingham, 

6,  Colmore  Row,  June  llth/24:th,  1915. 
Messrs.  Mamaev  and  Krivoshein,  Riga. 

DEAR  SIRS, 

We  learn  from  your  Circular-letter  of  the  1st 
ult.,  that  you  take  in  commission  various  English 
manufactured  goods. 

As  we  intend  [have  in  view]  to  enter  into  direct  busi- 
ness relations  with  Russia  with  the  purpose  of  selling 
there  our  Agricultural  Implements,  we  beg  to  apply 
to  you  asking  whether  you  would  wish  to  take  over  the 
Agency  for  the  sale  of  our  goods  in  Russia. 

Until  recently,  the  sale  of  our  goods  in  Russia  was 
effected  through  (the  mediation  of)  a  certain  German 
firm,  who  had  the  Sole  Agency  for  the  sale  of  our  goods 
for  the  entire  European  Continent. 

The  conditions  of  sale  were  as  follows: 

We  apportioned  to  our  late  agent  a  commission  of 
15%  on  the  yearly  turn-over,  that  is  to  say,  on  all  net 
sales  effected  through  him,  and  besides  that,  a  further 
commission  of  5%  for  the  maintenance  of  a  traveller 
and  business  expenses.

Sales  were  effected  on  account,  and  at  the  risk,  of  our 
late  agent,  i.e.  he  was  always  responsible  to  us  for  the 
value  of  goods  dispatched  at  his  direction  to  clients 
in  Russia,  and  he  made  payments  for  goods  supplied 
by  us,  less  his  discount  (due  to  him)  and  expenses, 
half-yearly. 

The  above-mentioned  conditions  were  stipulated  in 
the  agreement  with  our  late  agent,  which  expired 
recently.  When  concluding  a  new  agreement,  we 
intended,  as  agreed  upon  by  our  late  agent,  to  reduce 
the  rate  of  allowance  for  the  maintenance  of  his  traveller 
and  for  expenses  to  2£%,  in  view  of  the  fact  that  our 
Agricultural  Implements  are  already  widely  known, 
and  the  amount  of  the  total  turn-over  has  grown  to 
such  an  extent  that  even  2|%  makes  up  a  fair  sum 
which  is  quite  sufficient  to  cover  the  two  items 
mentioned. 

Considering,  however,  the  new  expenditure,  which 
you  will  probably  have  to  lay  out  during  the  initial 
period  in  order  to  make  our  goods  more  widely  known, 
we  are  prepared  to  allot  to  you  the  same  rate  of  com- 
mission as  had  hitherto  our  late  agent,  for  the  period 
of  two  years,  at  the  expiry  of  which  time  the  rate  of 
the  allowance  for  the  maintenance  of  a  traveller  and 
for  other  expenses  to  be  only  2|%  of  the  yearly  turn- 
over. 

Should  you  wish  to  take  over  our  Agency  for  Russia 
on  the  above-mentioned  conditions,  we  shall  be  much

DEAR  SIRS, 

We  have  had  the  pleasure  of  receiving  your 
esteemed  favour  of  the  1st  inst.,  and  also  your  Price 
Lists,  and  we  hasten  to  inform  you  that  we  are  very 
glad  of  the  opportunity  to  take  over  the  agency  for  the 
sale  of  your  Agricultural  Implements  in  Russia. 

Your  esteemed  offer  comes  most  opportunely  [all  the 
more  opportunely]  since  we  have  only  recently  been  ap- 
pointed the  sole  agents  for  the  Russian  Empire  of  the 
Syndicate  of  Livland  Mills  of  Superphosphate  and  other 
Manures. 

As  we  have  had  to  specially  invite  an  experienced 
Traveller  for  this  branch  of  our  business,  who  is  well 
known  to  many  large  landowners  and  farmers,  both 
in  the  Baltic  Provinces  and  in  the  adjoining  counties' 
we  have  decided  [we  intend]  to  entrust  him  also  with

the  selling  of  your  goods  in  the  districts  assigned  to 
him. 

We  shall,  of  course,  endeavour  to  widely  advertise 
your  Agricultural  Implements,  and  we  hope  to  be  able 
to  place  this  agency  on  a  solid  [sound]  footing.  In 
order  that  our  Traveller  may  personally  become  in- 
terested in  the  successful  growth  of  this  new  branch 
of  our  business,  we  think  of  offering  him,  in  addition 
to  a  bonus  on  his  salary,  a  small  commission  of  2% 
on  all  sales  effected  by  him  or  through  his  intermediacy. 
We  perfectly  agree  on  the  whole  to  the  conditions  as 
outlined  in  your  letter,  and  are  prepared  to  conclude 
an  agreement  accordingly  [in  accordance  with  the 
same]. 

We,  however,  deem  it  necessary  to  discuss  certain 
points  personally  with  one  of  your  representatives 
[with  a  representative  of  your  esteemed  firm],  and  for 
this  purpose  we  would  suggest  to  arrange  a  meeting 
of  representatives  of  our  respective  Firms  in  Stock- 
holm at  the  end  of  next  month. 

Our  partner,  Mr.  Krivoshem,  happens  to  be  going 
to  Sweden  about  that  time,  and  he  would  be  very 
pleased  to  meet  there  your  representative. 

We  shall  be  glad  if  you  will  let  us  know  by  return 
what  you  think  about  our  suggestion.     In  the  mean- 
time we  think  it  unnecessary  to  discuss  the  matter  in 
detail,  and  beg  to  remain,  awaiting  your  early  reply, 
Yours  faithfully,

to  take  over  our  agency  for  the  purchasing  for  us  of 
the  said  products.  If  so,  please  collect  for  us  suitable 
samples  of  these,  and  send  them  as  soon  as  possible, 
giving  the  exact  quantities  that  could  be  supplied  at 
present,  and  also  the  lowest  cost,  including  your  com- 
mission, f.o.b.  (Petrograd  or  Riga). 

We  also  buy  dried  mushrooms  (especially  pine-

and  we  shall  be  much  obliged  to  you  if  you  will  also 
send  us  samples  of  these. 

We  may  add  that  our  terms  of  payment  are  [we  shall 
tffect  payment]  against  Bill  of  Lading  at  the  rate  of 
80%  of  the  total  cost  of  the  shipment.  The  remain- 
ing 20%  will  always  be  paid  on  [arrival  here]  receipt

Petrograd. 
Gorokhovaia,  No.  14. 

Petrograd,  8th  July,  1915. 

Messrs.  Andrews  and  Logan,  London,  E.G. 

DEAR  SIRS, 

In  reply  to  your  esteemed  favour  of  the  1st  inst., 
we  have  the  honour  [pleasure]  to  inform  you  that  we 
shall  be  glad  to  undertake  the  purchasing  and  supply 
of  the  products  required  by  you.  In  view  of  the  fact 
that  we  have  opened  a  special  branch  for  [such  trans- 
actions] operations  of  this  nature  under  the  super- 
vision [management]  of  an  experienced  man,  who  is 
well  acquainted  with  the  state  of  the  market  in  many 
central  towns  of  Russia,  we  have  every  reason  to 
believe  [to  hope]  that  we  shall  always  be  able  [be  in 
the  position]  to  purchase  products  for  you  cheaply 
[advantageously]  and  of  the  best  quality. 

We  have  taken  steps  for  the  making  up  of  a  collec- 
tion of  samples  of  the  various  products  required  by 
you,  which  will  be  dispatched  in  a  few  days. 

In  the  meantime,  we  shall  be  glad  if  you  will  let  us 
know  what  particular  qualities  you  want,  and  approxi- 
mately the  quantities  that  you  may  be  able  to  pur- 
chase up  to  the  end  of  this  year. 

As  regards  the  conditions  of  the  supply  of  goods, 
we  would  prefer  to  effect  the  same  [to  supply  pro- 
ducts] at  definite  prices,  which  would  have  to  be  fixed

in  advance  for  each  shipment.  Such  a  procedure 
would  simplify  the  matter  and  would  leave  you  free- 
dom of  action  in  not  binding  you  to  [by]  any  obliga- 
tion in  case  of  a  sudden  fluctuation  of  the  market 
[prices].'  We  trust  that  you  will  agree  with  us  on  this 
point.  Should  you,  however,  prefer  to  put  the  busi- 
ness on  a  commission  basis,  we  shall  not  be  disinclined 
[shall  not  decline]  to  come  to  an  agreement  as  to  this. 

We  take  the  opportunity  to  inform  you  that  one  of 
our  clients  in  the  north  of  Russia  offers  us  a  quantity 
of  choice  dried  pine-mushrooms,  about  50  poods  in 
all,  which  he  would,  in  view  of  the  depressed  state  of 
the  market,  offer  at  25  Roubles  per  pood.  Should 
you  wish  to  purchase  the  same,  please  inform  us 
immediately. 

Awaiting  your  immediate  reply,  we  beg  to  remain, 
Yours  faithfully,

offered  by  you.  Please  have  the  latter  packed  well 
in  wooden  cases,  lined  with  waterproof  paper  and  fute-

will  have  to  pay  to  your  client  at  25  roubles  per 
pood,  and  in  the  circumstances  we  concede  to  the  add- 
ing to  this  price  of  your  commission  at  the  rate  of, 
say,  10%,  which  please  include  in  the  sum  of  your

drawn  on  you  in  favour  of  Messrs.  Maslov  and  Ptitzyn, 
Petrograd,  d  8th  November,  1915. 

At  the  same  time  we  beg  to  hand  you  Bill  of  Lading 
for  30  sacks  of  Patna  Rice  B  sent  to  you  yester- 
day by  rail,  and  invoice  for 

Roubles  540.50. 

This  completes  your  order  of  the  10th  June  last,  and  we 
(beg  to)  apologise  for  the  delay  which  has  been  brought 
about  by  circumstances  over  which  we  had  no  control. 
We  trust  you  will  accept  the  rice,  all  the  more  so  that 
we  have  charged  you  at  the  old  price,  notwithstanding 
the  fact  that  the  prices  on  rice,  as  also  on  other  pro- 
ducts, have  gone  up  considerably  during  the  last  few 
weeks. 

Soliciting  your  further  orders,  we  remain.

and  five  waggons  of  Hemp  in  the  respective  qualities 
as  required  by  you,  at  the  following  prices: 

Livland  Flax  I.  at  45  roubles  per  berkovetz'j 

..,    II.  „  40       „        „  „       I  f.o.b. 

Hemp  I.  „  50       „        „  „       J 

We  are  sending  you  at  the  same  time,  by  parcel  post, 
samples  of  the  qualities  mentioned  of  Flax  and  Hemp, 
which  we  trust  you  will  find  suitable. 

We  may  add  that  last  year's  harvest  both  of  Flax 
and  Hemp  was  very  meagre,  and  as  the  new  harvest 
is  yet  far  off,  prices  keep  firm,  and  a  further  rise  is  not 
unlikely  [quite  likely]. 

We,  therefore,  consider  the  above  quotation  [quoted 
prices]  as  binding  upon  us  only  up  to  the  end  of  this 
month. 

Simultaneously  with  your  order,  kindly  send  us  a 
draft  for  a  sum  equal  to  90%  of  the  approximate 
value  of  the  goods,  or  please  instruct  some  Bank  here 
to  pay  us  [to  advance]  90%  of  the  amount  of  our  in- 
voice, against  Bill  of  Lading. 

Awaiting  your  favourable  reply, 
We  remain, 

Yours  faithfully,

RUSSIAN  FOLK-TALES 

TRANSLATED  FROM  THE  RUSSIAN 

BY 

LEONARD  A.  MAGNUS,  LL.B. 

WITH  INTRODUCTION,  NOTES  AND  GLOSSARY.  ; 

"  Russia  is  particularly  rich  in  legends,  folklore,  and  popular 
tales,  and  the  literature  of  this  kind  which  it  possesses  is  particularly 
worth  reading,  not  only  as  a  matter  of  study,  but  also  for  delight. 
It  is  better  and  more  human  folklore  than  most  of  our  more  Western 
matter,  possibly  because  it  is  less  barbarous.  It  does  not  take  its 
rise  from  Scandinavian  mythology,  but  from  a  gentle  Nature- 
worship.  .  .  .  This  volume  is  a  good  one,  and  worth  consideration 
as  an  authentic  fragment  of  Russian  literature.  .  .  .  The  tales  are 
playfully  and  curiously  told.  An  interesting  compilation  which  has 
a  great  circulation  in  Russia  just  now  is  '  Soldiers'  Fairy  Tales  ' — 
a  collection  of  folk  tales  about  soldiers — several  of  which  are  repro- 
duced in  Mr.  Magnus'  volume. ' ' — Times. 

"  Present  circumstances  will  give  these  tales  a  wide  popularity. 
But  they  deserve  it  on  their  own  merits,  for  they  portray  the  spirit 
of  the  Russian  peasantry  with  greater  fidelity  than  is  the  case  in 
other  countries.  .  .  .  These  Russian  tales  are  superior  to  the 
German  ones  in  the  goodness  of  heart  they  reveal,  their  religious- 
ness, their  greater  freedom  from  the  shackles  of  romanticism,  and 
their  keener  sense  of  the  world  of  Nature." — Standard. 

"The  book  deserves  the  widest  circulation. " — Contemporary  Review. 

"The  stories  are  over  seventy  in  number.  The  translation  is 
eminently  satisfactory." — Notes  and  Queries. 

"  Mr.  Magnus'  substantial  volume  is  just  what  is  wanted.  He 
writes  good,  clear  English,  and  his  notes  are  sufficient  for  the  pur- 
pose."— Manchester  Guardian. 

"Represent  as  completely  as  possible  the  varieties  of  the  native 
folk-tale.  "—Outlook.
